Preparation

Pat steak dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Spread 1 teaspoon sesame seeds evenly on one side of steak.

In a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until it begins to smoke and add steak, sesame-seed-side down. Spread remaining teaspoon sesame seeds on top of steak. Cook steak 1 1/2 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat and transfer with a slotted spatula to a small platter. Keep steak warm.

Pour off almost all fat from skillet and add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook garlic mixture over moderate heat, stirring, 10 seconds and add Sherry. Boil mixture until almost all liquid is evaporated and remove skillet from heat. Add soy sauce, vinegar, and honey and bring to a simmer, stirring. Add butter and stir over low heat until incorporated. Spoon glaze over steak.

Made this as my first time actually cooking any kind of steak. The steak and sauce came out perfectly following the recipe on the page, but I think I burned the Garlic a little as there was a burnt after taste with every bite. All in all it was a delicious meal that I would definitely like to try again.

Left out the sesame seeds--didn't miss them. Doubled the glaze--glad I did. Very flavorful! Easy enough for a weeknight and impressive enough for guests.

Easy & delicious, my husband's favorite way to cook steaks now. I've served it with plain risotto, and it soaks up the extra sauce nicely.

Fantastic!! I had some roasted sesame brought home from Japan so used that both to coat the steaks and to dust on for serving. Wonderful way to set off the prime WA state pasture raised beef I used. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you!!

We grilled the meat, so I used about a tablespoon of bacon fat to substitute for the steak fat. I doubled the rest of the ingredients and, because they are so delicious and healthy together (oh those probiotics!), I added finely diced shallot and leek with the garlic. Yum!
